Off ly Hn TjiclrIlalldtnff THorrn In at Kalrinount Other Stat KOKOIIO, Feb. .Special. A verdict cf guilty has been agreed upon by the Jury in th Cal Armstrong defalcation isw, but th punishment has not yet been fixed. A sealed verdict Will be returned on the opening of court in the morning -with punishment at from five to seven years In the penitentiary. From th close of the testimony it was certain that the defense had no hope that a favorable, verdict would be had. a no! its effort. wer-.- directed to securing as light a sentence as pos.-ible. it had littl? to build upon. Young Armstrong's career as Tipton'.- "st.ir pin n er" and premier spendthrift was against him and added to this was his abusive treatment of iiia father's bondsmen after his arrest and his two attempts to escape? from custody, in the first of which the slugging (,f the sheriff by a hired thus wai planned and in the second the chloroforming of the sheriffs entire family was contemplated. Worse still was- his parading1 of the itjimy of his own lather in this ea.e by setting up th lat tor's mn ietion in the Hamilton county cotut as a bar to this action. Ail this was mad" much of CA Li ARMSTRONG. by the state's advocates and it waa only the eloquent and touching appeal of Senator Kern, in which be braved the wrath c? I:! fellow democrats in Tipton county. In t'oe service of his client, that aved the young1 jr.an from possibly the extreme penalty of twenty-one years. Beyond question Mr. Kern wa.s deceived a- to the strength of this case. He promised much in his opening statement, but when he consulted with the witnesses, for the first time. hf. found that his n-ssociat- counsel had overestimated the worth and mistaken the character of the testimony. Then lygan on of the most remarkable defenses ever offered in a criminal case In this court; a desperate attempt to confute the jury by a maze of figures aided by the raisin? of fine technical points, some of which, however, wer well tak;-n, and may secure a reversal of the verdict in the supreme court. KOKO.MO. Feb. 10. Sirlal." When the jury in the c:ise of Calvin Armstrong, the defaulting deputy treasurer of Tipton county, failed to report on th. opening of court this morning, the court, the lawyers and the laymen were surprised. It was known that the first ballot of the jury was unanimous fur guilt and that on the Fecund ballot, lixing the punishment. three votes stoxl for twenty-one years, two for ten, three for rive and four for two years. The genenral guess was that a. compromise verdict of seven years would be reached by morning. Instead, there was a stubborn resistance by the short term peers and after a struggle of fwenty hours a verdict of three years imprisonment, three dollars' tine and three years' disfranchisement was returned. In this verdict the jury agreed that the young man had stolen $K1.W0; for this reason the "Shorty boys" call it the winning of the gamblers, gig-3-:'.-3-4;'. There was an awful .howl from the Tipton county people, where Cal has wrecked the fortunes of a haLf score of his father's 1ond.smen. Notice was given that a motion for a new trial would be made, but it will not be. Though young Armstrong was advised before eoming into the court room that his sentence would be a light one he was himself, surprised that he escaped so easily. He had figured it at rive years. He is not a'atisflod with the verdict. The result of the trial is a signal victory for Senator John W. Kern. "With r defense that in the beginning seemed all but homeless, he give gallant battle for the minimum punishment under the law. 3 lis address to the jury, and this alone, saved, young Armstrong from a long penlence. In this he invited the displeasure of th) democracy of Tipton county, but h did It with earnestness and with evidence Of the honesty of his effort. BI.OODV FIGHT IV COtHT. X Witness Anianlted on the Stand and nadly Braten. TERRR HAUTE. Feb. 11. Special. The Express publishes the following from Centerviile: "Justice Criss's court at Centervllle, sixteen rules southeast of this city, wis the prone of a bloody f ght yesterday afternoon, in which knives were drawn and almost a tragedy resulted.

The fight lasted nearly half ah hour and the court-room was smeared with blood. Knives were drawn and only for the presence of mind of tho justice In swearing In six constables the court-room would undoubtedly have been turned into the ecene of a fatal affray. "The trouble which Wup to the courtroom fight had evidently existed for some time.

The iase was called yesterday morning before a jury In Justice Criss court. Frank A. Kelly of this city appearing for the defendants. Dean and All. The court-room was crowded, as the caw was on tin; sensational order and had been freely talked of throughout the vicinity. Several witnesses were examined and among them Mrs. Carpenter. She testified that Doan and All had nothing to do with her leaving home, and accused her husband of threatening to kill her. and also drawing a, knife on her several times. This. sh swore, was the reason why she left home. "John All was next put on the witness stand to testify and during his statement of the case was called a liar several times by Carpenter, who was listening to the testimony. All did not heed the charges and when Carpenter was called to testify he accused All's brother of stealing a cow. and again called All a liar. The repeated charges liecame unbearable to All. who, on being called a Har the fourth time, jumped on Carpenter and pounded Ms face In a horrible manner. The jurymen, justice, attorneys and audience rushed in to art the infuriated men. A number took their coats 'off and a friend of Carpenter's drew a knife and threatened to stab some one. "When All was taken off Carpenter the latter drew a knife and made a desperat- effort to plunge it into All. When prevented from this, he attempted to have the court room, as he announevd, to get a gun to shoot All. A moment after the fight began the justice called out six men and swore them In as constables to quell the fight and restore peace. When Carpenter and All were parted the friends of both parties wanted to fight and the constables had difficulty in holding the men apart. Peace was restored, however, after, half an hour, and the trial was continued in the blood-smeared rroin. From beginning to end the trial lasted six hours. The jury remained out five minutes and returned a verdict in favor of Dear, and All. All was fined $j for contempt of court and Carpenter was assessed $1 for the same offense. "After the trial the friends of both parties gathered at the different saloons and had several fights as the outcome of the court-room row."

Richmond will do some building this spring and summer, despite the hard times at hand and th genenU depression of business. In years past, tint is speaking of the last three years, building In Richmond has been on. the increase, anl without any suspicion of )ooming propensities the city ha recte! a. many houses as any of the gas breit towns. Naturally the ratio, of th 3ast thrco years will hardly be met with the coming season, but thing will not te dead by a good deal. An Itejn reiKrtcr called upon the architects yesterday and found them buiy. Strictly speaking they have not "got all they can do," but apparently they are siUi-fied and looking forward to. quite a tir when pprinK arrives. HuildIng on the West Side, which had such a grand start last year end the year before, and which jzave such prorclse of Increase this year, will drop eonsih.-rably. Many, pernaps a inaj.irfty of the lots In tlie West Side addition, are owned by the workinprmen. They erect a. homn whenever their accumulation of means will permit.
